Abstract excerpt
To explore how heparan sulfate (HS) controls the responsiveness of the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 to fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), we have exposed them to HS preparations known to have specificity for FGF-1 (HS glycosaminoglycan (HSGAG A)) or FGF-2 (HSGAGB). Proliferation assays confirmed that MCF-7 cells were highly responsive to FGF-2 complexed with GAGB, whereas migration assays...
